Well I could have been sick I could have died I could have given up And not tried To make it to tomorrow Like a broken hearted lover
But there was a brand new start And suddenly I was taken New and faraway places And the music I was shaken
It was a whole new race When I woke on that first day There was nothing I could say I was in the hands of angels
Johnny and the governor Came and brought me to my senses They made me feel just like a king Made me lose all my bad defenses
And they knew all the places I needed to go All of the people I needed to know They knew who I needed And who needed me And who would come help me And who would just let me be
I was in the hands of angels Until this very day Inside the hands of angels What more can I say
When you're in the hands of angels Life is oh so sweet And you feel the love Down deep inside Even out there on the street
